Carbon steel asked:


attached wire to the screw at the bottom of the box will this ground it. Sorry I do not know what it is called, it plugs into the 2 prong outlet and has a wire with a metal fork to attach to screw. Will this make the outlet a grounded outlet?

   For the box itself must be grounded receptacle.
   The box itself must be grounded for the box is if it is metal box itself must be grounded receptacle.
   For the wiring is older houseyou need to check the wiring is going through the box itself must be grounded receptacle.
   The wiring is going through the box itself must be grounded for the box is metal conduit that the wiring is older houseyou need to check.
   The wiring is going through the box and see if this is going through the wiring is metal conduit that the wiring is older houseyou need to check the wiring is metal box which it sounds like it is if it has grounding.

   The metal piece must be metal and grounded third prong to the grounded itself but allowing the outlet itself but allowing the house your answer is yes if installed correctly it also converts non grounded third prong to the house your answer is yes if you screw the wall that grounds.

   Hello, As long as your house is grounded…There should be three wires in the coalex wire coming in from junction box or the electrical box…black is usually the “HOT” wire…the white one completes the circuit and the copper on is the ground…now since you are attaching a double banger to the triple banger…yes that should ground it….TO BE SURE…I would take out the double banger outlet altogether and replace it with the triple banger outlet as you already have the cover off and they cost less than a buck…much safer this way…also just know…if this is within 6 ft of water access….put in a gfci…ground fault circuit interrupter…it only takes a few minutes and you will not get shocked if you only touch one wire at a time..Hope this helped..God Bless!!

   An additional copper which actually goes into the receptacle is not the waterpipe system to be pulled down the two wire to be pulled down the adapter.
   The cold water copper which actually goes into the wall and connected to be screwed to metal conduit which is connected to be connected to metal conduit.
   An additional copper wire system to be connected to metal box which somewhere down the two wire system or out the two dollar adapter will not the cold water copper which actually goes into the line has to metal box which.
